Smart locks are usually equipped with mechanical keys as an emergency unlocking method, which is a necessary function according to public safety industry standards. When the smart lock runs out of power or has electronic failures, the mechanical key ensures that the user can unlock the lock normally.
The core reason why smart locks are equipped with mechanical keys
Industry standard mandatory requirements: Standards such as the "GA374-2019 Electronic Anti-theft Lock" issued by the Ministry of Public Security clearly stipulate that smart locks must be equipped with emergency mechanical anti-theft locks. This requirement is similar to the design of the fire escape of a building, ensuring basic unlocking capabilities in emergency situations.
Emergency scenario coverage:
Battery exhaustion (temporary charging can be done through the charging port, but the mechanical key is still the ultimate guarantee)
Electronic component failure (such as fingerprint module damage, system freeze, etc.)
Configuration features of mechanical keys
Quantity and type:
Usually 2 keys are standard, no decoration key function
The key adopts a blade structure design, which is safer than traditional mechanical keys
Concealment design:
The keyhole is mostly hidden at the bottom of the front panel or covered by a cover, which needs to be rotated/pressed to be exposed
Example: For some models, the circular cover under the password panel needs to be opened to see the keyhole
